Camels get trout pout

-

BEAUTY contest judges have got the hump and kicked out 12 camels from Saudi Arabia’s annual camel beauty contest because their owners gave them Botox.

Judges size up the animals, paying particular attention to the size of their lips, and some unscrupulo­us owners have been injecting their camels to give them a proper trout pout as there is millions of dollars in prize money up for grabs.

“It makes the head more inflated so when the camel comes it’s like, ‘Oh look at how big that head is. It has big lips,’ ” a camel breeder said.
